Just Random Thoughts Continued

This is not a funny thing, I am just curious about this observation and short history lesson about something I don’t understand the logic or reasoning for. I don’t care about the renaming of the Gulf of America and all the uproar about it. But an interesting statement is” You can’t just rename something.” History tells a different story about this. To wit : Persia and Mesopotamia now Iran and Iraq, and closer to home, Lake Mathis to Lake Corpus Christi, no uproar here. Most of us locals around here just call it “The Gulf” anyway. Nuff said. Now back to the random thoughts. I miss the old days when simple things were funny and a joke was just a joke. I remember when people used to laugh about a cartoon where someone slipped and fell after stepping on a banana peel. Has anyone ever seen that actually happen? I don’t think so, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong. Here are some more random thoughts and caution; it may include some thoughts from past columns. When you clean something, you usually make something else dirty .When poison expires is it no longer poison or is it more poisonous? How do you know when sour cream goes bad? When something is out of whack do you just refill it with more whack? How come something can be underneath, but not overneath and where is neath anyway?An observation: The young fighter had a lean and hungry look, the kind of look you get from not eating for quite a while. The Little boat drifted across the pond exactly like a cannon ball wouldn’t. From the cellar came an unearthly howl, the whole scene had an eerie surreal quality about it, like when you are on a vacation in another city and Wheel of Fortune came on at 7:30 instead of 7:00. She grew on him like she was a colony of maggots and he was a rotting carcass.

Thought for the day: Do twins ever realize that one of them was unplanned?
